Full Description: Rare opportunity for titled rain forest acreage on the edge of the pristine Osa Peninsula. This Osa Peninsula real estate looks out over the waters of Drake Bay, the Estero Ganada estuary that winds its way thru the tallest stands of mangrove trees in Central America, and outward to Isla Cano Island, recognized for its beaches, coral beds, rich sea life, and fascinating archaeological history, most notably a collection of giant stone spheres from pre-columbian times that remain scientifically unexplainable. The waters of Drake Bay are host to four different species of giant turtles, the largest coral reef on the Pacific coast of Central America, and the annual migration of the great Humpback Whale, as well as 24 other whale and dolphin species. It is believed that an estimated 80% of the whales in the world are conceived or are born in the waters of the Osa Peninsula. This 152 acre tract of real estate is a truly unique environmental pearl on the Osa Peninsula. The bottom section of acreage directly adjoins the Estero Ganada estuary. To take a trip thru the estuary is to take a step back in time. The waters edge leads you on to the lower edge of the property line where the land is lush, fertile, and level, an ideal combinaion for growing any variety or mix of native Costa Rican fruits, plants, and trees. The sprawling lower portion is conducive to most any type of environmental management. Aside from boat access, the lower portion of acreage is slated for future road expansion that will connect it to the existing road between the small towns of Sierpe and Drake Bay (daily airline flites to Drake Bay airport on Sansa Airlines and Nature Air). This is an environmental project being managed by the local municipality that will give this acreage a direct path to the unspoiled beaches of Playa Ganada. Don’t expect to see many visitors there, Playa Ganada is most often reached only by boat. This entire property would be an unparalleled opportunity to provide eco-tourism with a wholly unique experience and insight to the tropical lands and waters of the Osa Peninsula. From the lower, near sea level acreage, majestic rain forest lands rise above. Two separate ridges lead up from the low lands to towering trees that occupy primary rain forest and jungle. The rich, thick primary rain forest and bosque open up to secondary forest with magnificent views over the valley, on to distant mountains, and out over boundless waterways. Hiking trails have been maintained to allow for access thru the forest and around the entire 152 acre property. To get an idea of the diversity and abundance of native wildlife, one only has to learn about nearby Corcovado National Park. The park contains approximately 140 species of mammals, an estimated 375 species of birds, 117 amphibian and reptile species, 40 types of freshwater fish, all four Costa Rican monkey species, two and three-toed sloth, northern tamandua, the silky anteater, agoutis, tayras, coati mundi, a large variety of bird species with trogons, tiger herons, guans, hawks, tanagers, parrots, toucans and two distinct macaw species. Over 40 species of frogs, 28 species of lizards, more than 100 species of butterflies, 16 different hummingbird species, and the largest number of scarlet macaws anywhere in Central America. These lands are an environmental paradise. You could take a life time to look for a comparable piece of Costa Rican real estate with all of these natural amenities and you very well may find it does not exist. Come and explore the Osa Peninsula Region in South Costa Rica, referred to by National Geographic as "one of the most biologically intense places on earth."
